Does anyone know of any YouTube videos subtitled in Klingon besides
this one (you might have to change the subtitle language to see
Klingon)?

It's a scene from Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless" ("À bout de
souffle"). The dialogue is rather insulting to women. It's a classic
movie and the scene makes sense in context, but I'm giving a
presentation on Klingon in a few days and would rather show a video
with more neutral content that I don't have to explain.

(Actually, there's this other video -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_job6BSZteE - starring yours truly,
but the Klingon subtitles are pretending to be another language for
reasons too complicated to explain here. I want to actually show the
"Klingon" subtitle option in action.)
